λ = (300,000,000 m/s)/(103,500,000 1/s)

λ = 2.898 m

λ = 2.898 m

3x108 m/s

1.035x108 Hz

(Wed) Diffraction is another wave interaction. What are two things that diffraction causes, and when does diffraction not happen? (5 min / 6 pts)

(Wed) Diffraction is another wave interaction. What are two things that diffraction causes, and when does diffraction not happen? (5 min/6 pts)

Diffraction causes:

Waves to bend around an obstacle

Waves to spread out when they pass through a small opening

Diffraction does not happen when:

The wavelength is small compared to the size of the object

(Thu) What is the difference between Diffraction, Refraction and Reflection of light waves? (5 min / 6 pts)

(Thu) What is the difference between Diffraction, Refraction and Reflection of light waves? (5 min/6 pts)

RefractionDiffraction Reflection

The bending of light waves as they pass around an object or through a slit (no media change)

The bending of light waves as they pass through a change in media

The bending of light waves as they bounce off the surface of a media
